1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Jump mission with Jones and an ordinary scenes yesterday with 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: that flash flooding and areas that you just did not expect, Dams, 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: spilling cars, floating plasts past school windows, just extraordinary what 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: happened with the northern beaches yesterday. 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 2: So tell us what we're in for, When will it 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 2: stop raining, and what the rest of the week looks like. 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 2: We've got Hugh macdowe from the Bomb. 8 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: The Bomb. 9 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 2: He is the bomb vieer of meteorology. Hello, Hugh, how 10 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 2: are you? 11 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 3: James? That was a great introduction. 12 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 2: We love the bomb all right, So can you give 13 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 2: us some insight into when this apocalyptic weather is going 14 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: to end? 15 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 3: Well, I mean broadly today. So we're seeing the rainfall 16 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 3: ease off today. We're just expecting a couple of hours 17 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 3: across the city, mostly across eastern parts, but nowhere near 18 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 3: the rainfall totals that we saw yesterday. Just up to 19 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: five millimeters as possible today. 20 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 4: And you know what, we know, the equipment that we 21 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 4: have and everything like this. We're talking to the Premier 22 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 4: Dominic Perrote before and people have been leveling criticism of 23 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 4: the government for not letting water out of war again, 24 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 4: Madam earlier because because as well war again, the dam 25 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 4: has all our drinking water and it can fill up 26 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 4: so quickly. Is it possible with all the equipment and 27 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 4: intel that we have now that we can foresee. 28 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 3: That, Oh well, that's a really difficult question to be honest, 29 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 3: change and you'd have to talk to waters in near 30 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 3: South Wales on that as well. There are things they 31 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 3: can do, I imagine, but we forecast the rainfall for it, 32 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 3: and we can forecast how much rainfall. But with these 33 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 3: storms and with things coming in, it's difficult to say 34 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: exactly how much will fall across a catchment. And if 35 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: they lead it out and then you don't get the 36 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 3: rainfall to replace it, you can have a problem that 37 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: way as well. And also believe if they do let 38 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 3: some out, then you could cause flooding by just letting 39 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: it out anyway. So it's a pretty delicate balancing out. 40 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: So today we're going to start to see the rain clear, 41 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: but we're in for quite a bit of wind. We 42 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: had a lot of wind over the overnight, that's right. 43 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: So we've still got severe other warning for the wind. 44 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 3: Damaging wind gusts generally on the coast, but maybe some 45 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 3: higher parts of the city. And surrounds as well. And 46 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 3: like you say, we had some pretty strong gusts overnight, 47 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 3: ninety four kilometers that Sitney Airport and one hundred kilometers 48 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 3: through Kernew still possible to see some ninety kilometer gusts, 49 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: mostly towards the eastern side across the exposed coast. 50 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 4: And will they ease those winds. 51 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: The winds will lease through the day today, so we're 52 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: not expecting those gusts to last overnight tonight and we 53 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 3: should be losing that warning tomorrow. The other one we've 54 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 3: got is a warning for damaging surf along the coast. 55 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: Some pretty large waves along the coast today. 56 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: And this is all part of London. 57 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 58 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 2: I read somewhere that we may have this kind of 59 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: weather till May. Is that right? 60 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean the lending is on its way out, 61 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 3: so it is easy. But we're expecting to experience the 62 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 3: effects from it all the way through autumn as well, 63 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 3: so we're likely to see above average rainfall continuing through 64 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: the autumn as well. Unfortunately. 65 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 4: Well you it's always great to talk, do you. Thank 66 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 4: you for joining us? No wor thanks mcdown from the 67 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 4: bomb 68 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's Gamnation,
